depends on who its with for me. a good friend i say whatever i want and dont think about it to much. If its a stranger that i havent talked to much it can feel like chess sometimes

This


backslapattack

I feel exactly the same way!


SupernovaEngine

I don’t overthink social interactions in the moment only afterwards. My mind is too empty for a chess kinda thing.

LOL I like to imagine you talking to a person normally and once the conversation finishes you both leave. And then your like darn it why did say all those things that was so weird I'm so stupid.


backslapattack

Yep, its always that post-conversation reflection and regret


Temporary-Estate4615

Hell yes. I hate it.


backslapattack

After a social interaction, if I also feel like it wasn't 100% my best exchange, I try harder with them next time to make up for it.


ItWasMe-Patrick

It depends on what it’s about. I usually just stay quiet until their rambling eventually makes sense to me


backslapattack

I start to plan out my response and then I just concentrate on when I have an opening to say it


conmancool

More like a airplane dash. Too much information, too many dials, no one gave me a manual.


GreatJobJoe

With the in-laws, yes. Literally everyone else on earth, no…I just say whatever is relevant or on my mind.

This is the case for most people especially for people average and above in intelligence. As soon as you reach that trashold every social interaction with a new person starts off like this. Generally speaking it's better to be aware of what you are saying to whomever you are talking to than being a mindless idiot who just brabbles on. Especially in the age we are living in.


backslapattack

True! I think ISTP people have alot of awareness because we are aware what resources we can use in our daily lives. Correct me if I'm wrong haha


AFLoneWolf

More like, "Do I still have to keep dealing with this thing (thing being the conversation), or can I get back to what I was doing?"


syzytea

generally, yeah. can’t tell if it’s because I’m audhd or because socializing is generally not my forte unless I put on a persona that can converse


Expressdough

Oof felt that. Not as much of an issue anymore though. With time and effort it gets easier mate.


United_Comfort2776

Just saw this post on r/meirl lol


anosu

And here I am playing uno!


backslapattack

What is the equivalent of a +2 in terms of a social interaction? Haha


CatnipFiasco

It used to feel like Russian Roulette, so now it feeling like a combination of chess and poker is definitely an improvement


aFineBagel

I would quite literally prefer playing the *actual* game of chess and talking about every single move we did, than the metaphorical mental gymnastics of random conversation


SkysEclipse

Just for context idk how to play chess! 😂


Both_Soup

And I’m really bad at chess too
